My invention is an improvement in soot removers, for fiues andthe like,and has for .itsobject to provide mechanism ofthe cl1ar- ,act'erspecified, for removing the soot from a stove and flue, without injuryto either,

and in an expeditious and thorough manner.

Inthe drawings: Figure 1 is a sectional view of a part of a stoveshowing the method of using the device. s I Fig. 2 is a section throughthe carton and the soot remover.

j Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 d3 ofFig. 2, looking in thedirection of the arrows adj acent to the line.

1 i Fig. a is a perspective view of the device removed from the carton.

1 comprises a length 1 of fuse, which is pro Yided at 1 intervalswithcuts 2 of sufficient depth to open the bore of the fuse, in order lt hat when the fuse is lighted the fire may spitout from the opening.

An outer casing or jacket 4: of cloth is l provided in connection withthe fuse, the said cloth being in the form of a strip which is wrappedabout the fuse, and is secured to the fuse by means of lengths 5 ofcord. fThi's cloth or jacket 4 is of enough greater cross section thanthe fuse to provide an annular space between the fuse and the jacket,and this space is divided into chambers or receptacles by the cords 5,before-mentioned, which are tied tightly about the cloth and the fuse. p

a supply of blasting powder indicated at 6, and it will be noticed thatthe cuts 2 in the fuse are at the centers of the chambers, thearrangement being such that when the fuse is lighted, the powder in theseveral chambers will be ignited successively.

It will be noticed from an inspection of Figs. 2 and 4 that one end ofthe fuse is eX- tended beyond the jacket 4, while the other end is wellwithin the end of the jacket, and the com ileted device is arrangedwithin a paper carton or container 7, with the eX- tendcd end of thefuse passing out through an opening in the top of the same. Thisextended end maybe ignited to set off the device, and directions for theuse of the device, or advertising matter, may be printed on the cartondirectly or may be arranged on a label which is applied to the carton.-

In use, the stove 8, to be operated upon, is I provided with a goodfire,and with a cook stove the drafts are arranged as in baking.

The front draft is then closed, and a back stove lid is lifted. Theextended end of the fuse is now lighted, and held in the hand unbehindthe even, so that it will land just belowthe oven, and the lid isreplaced. the packets of powder explode, the soot is removed from bothflue and chimney.

I claim:

A device of the character specified, comprising a length of fuse, atubular jacket encircling the fuse and forming an annular chamberbetween the fuse and the jacket,

said space being divided into separate chambers, and the said chamberscontaining an explosive, the fuse having cuts at the chambers extendinginto the bore of the same.
